So I accidently removed Live Search program yesterday and it gives you a dead button on the today screen. So after I noticed that I re-downloaded live search and the button still did not work. It will say its missing components and or certificates and needs to be re-downloaded. I looked around on here and found only that you need to hard reset or play registry games and Im out on that. I did find this elsewhere and its simple and it works and you get the new live search with gas prices.
Go to Start/Programs/File Explorer on the Touch. Navigate to the Live Search folder, and then click on Menu and check the Show All Files option. You will see that there is one subfolder and probably 4 files in the Live Touch folder. Now, click on Menu/New Folder and create a new subfolder in the Live Search folder called Live Search. (Yes, this will be a subfolder that has the exact same name as the main folder.) Now cut and paste ALL of the files (and the other subfolder, but not your new subfolder) from the Live Search folder into the new Live Search subfolder you have created. Then, simply navigate to the new subfolder, find the LiveSearch.exe file (you won't see the .exe extension), and rename it Live Search (in other words, just rename it with a space between the word Live and the word Search).
That's it. The problem is fixed, but you may need to repeat this process each time you update Live Search.
